ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (20) comprises an inflatable air bag (26) having an inlet opening (112) and a mounting portion (106) adjacent the inlet opening. A reaction canister (42) supports an inflator (24) for inflating the air bag (26). A retainer frame (104) attaches the mounting portion (106) of the air bag (26) to the reaction canister (42). The retainer frame (104) includes a plurality of frame portions (144, 146) connected together. At least one of the frame portions (144) resists outward deflection in one direction during inflation of the air bag. The one frame portion (144) has a plurality of slots (222) to permit the frame portion to deflect with a deflection component directed opposite the one direction when a force, external to the apparatus, is applied.
